The Jets signed free-agent outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu on Monday as they continue to look for help to solve their edge-rushing deficiency.

Attaochu, a former second round pick by the Chargers, was released by the Niners this weekend. Attaochu, signed by San Francisco this offseason, has only 10 sacks in four seasons.

Gang Green made an aggressive push to trade for All-Pro edge defender Khalil Mack before getting out-bid by the Bears.

Attaochu joins Jordan Jenkins, Josh Martin and Brandon Copeland as the only edge defenders on the roster.

ELI GONE FOR AWHILE

Running back Eli McGuire, who broke his foot this summer, was placed on Injured Reserve. By rule, he'll miss at least the first eight weeks of the season.

KICKING THE CAN

The Jets are scheduled to work out free-agent kicker Matt McCrane on Wednesday, according to sources. McCrane, an undrafted rookie from Kansas State, made two 50-plus field goals during a solid preseason for the Cardinals. The Jets worked out veteran Dan Bailey on Monday. Veteran Jason Myers remains on the roster.

KEARSE STILL HURTS

WR Jermaine Kearse (abdominal) didn't practice on Monday. The News reported last week that the Jets fear that the veteran will miss the season opener after undergoing a medical procedure…

Sam Darnold's former college teammates — center Nico Falah and wide receiver Deontay Burnett — were signed to the practice squad.
